Moonville Ghost Hike and Ghost Hunt

I am offering a night hike at Moonville Tunnel, telling local ghost stories, followed by a ghost hunt at the famous and haunted tunnel. The hike and ghost hunt will take about 2 hours. I will be walking an out-and-back section of the Moonville Rail Trail, and those interested can hike with me from Moonville town proper to Ingham Station/Bear Hollow.
The hike is free. It is a little over 1.5 miles one-way, a total of 3.0 miles on an easy, flat gravel railroad bed. It takes about 30-40 minutes to hike one way at a leisurely pace. However, we move steadily with a few short stops to hear the local ghost stories, so it may be too challenging for those with health issues, walking difficulties, or who are out of shape. It will be dark on the return. Bring a flashlight. No pets.

After, I’ll bring some ghost-hunting equipment so you can try a little ghost-hunting in the tunnel. And if you wish to download some of the online “ghost hunting” apps like Ghost Tube, we can test to see if they mirror some of the tried-and-true tools used over time.
Bring water and a flashlight or cell phone for light. There are no restrooms. The closest are a few miles away at Lake Hope State Park just past the beach parking lot.
Please check https://www.facebook.com/ohioghoststories/ on FB before coming for weather/flooding or other updates.
I will have some of my Ohio, West Virginia, and Appalachian hikes books available (including the Moonville book, Haunted Hocking Hills, and the Vinton County haunts) for purchase for ten bucks a piece, but bring cash. There are no ATMs and the cell phone services are sketchy.
Under 18 must have a parent/guardian. (Parent/Legal Guardian of hikers under 18 must sign the waiver! A responsible adult/parent/guardian must hike with underage children).
How Do I SIGN UP?

1) Complete the Waiver Form the evening before the hike by 5:00 p.m. for EACH and every person attending (both adults and children). Every person must sign a separate waiver.

Hike Waiver Form Click Here

2) Request to be part of the hike/sign up the evening before by 5:00 pm at loneghostwriter@gmail.com or private message me on FB. You will receive a reply. If you do not receive a reply, you are not registered.

Registration is not complete until BOTH of the following are received:

1) Waiver is completed and accepted by staff (you will receive a welcoming e-mail along with detailed hike information/directions)

2) Registration request has been approved/received by me or my staff and you have received an e-mail or message from me.

You will get a reply for both. If you do not get a reply for each, you are not registered or did not sign the waiver and you will not be able to attend the hike. I must require this to continue doing the hikes for low cost or free, and cannot allow "drop ins" during the hike. Hikers will receive an event wristband.
